Thomas Davis claims Devonta Freeman played with an undisclosed concussion

The Eagles beat the odds just by flourishing without their best cornerback, but Darby's presence can lift them from very good to elite. They'll visit the Dallas Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football" in an attempt to create even more space between themselves and the rest of the division. The game also features a burgeoning individual rivalry between second-year quarterbacks Carson Wentz of the Eagles and Dak Prescott of the Cowboys. He left the game with eight this season. "I've got to look back and look at film".

In Darby's absence, the Eagles' secondary has thrived with cornerback Jalen Mills playing at a Pro Bowl level, rookie third-round pick Rasul Douglas contributing and Patrick Robinson exceeding expectations after moving into the team's nickel cornerback role. They play together better than any other team in the league, and it is reflected in their 8-1 record.

Last year, the Eagles' bye week came after Week Three.

Prior to their bye in Week 10, the Eagles manhandled the Denver Broncos in a 51-23 victory.

Lee is not expected to practice this week and could miss two or three games, considering the Thanksgiving Day match-up against the San Diego Chargers is four days later on a short week, followed by a November 30 matchup against the Washington Redskins.

Now, the Eagles go on the road for the first time in over a month, facing a Cowboys' team that isn't close to being at full strength. The associated moneylines for this game are Atlanta -155 and Dallas +148.

Elliott isn't even in the country as he serves the remainder of his suspension. The last game they played was a demoralizing 20-17 affair against the rival Carolina Panthers. He was brought down six times by Falcons defensive lineman Adrian Clayborn. His replacement, Chaz Green, was responsible for four sacks.

"You know what they say, he'd play if it was the Super Bowl", Jones asked rhetorically Monday at a grand opening ceremony for Dee Lincoln's Prime. The offensive line was an absolute mess with Smith on Sunday in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Minnesota has given up just 165 points this season, and while they've already lost Sam Bradford for the year, they got their actual starting quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, back this weekend. Sunday's over/under is 48. Per the NFL, The Saints are the second team in the Super Bowl era to win its next seven games immediately following an 0-2 start.

Wentz hasn't had a bad game all season-his worst passer rating was 83.0. You have to protect first, and we didn't do as good a job as we typically do in that area.

Another team that is a big threat to the Eagles this season is the Los Angeles Rams.
